LONELINESS IS a feeling that is never understood. It bears so much emotions on it shoulders, carrying the weight and never bothering to share it with another soul. It was it's burden.

Loneliness is a feeling that is never understood. No one crosses its path. No one bothers to uncover it's darkest secrets. No one realizes it's not a disease or a curse, they just don't care and they stray away.

Loneliness is a feeling that is never understood because no one bothers to understand it.

Cora's gaze rises up from her milkshake, she turns her head slightly and they focus now on the boy across the room. He was alone but not lonely. She was lonely but not alone.

The two words carried the greatest opposition to one another. Alone is a choice, lonely is the after effects of those choices.

She focused back on her milkshake, taking little sips of it. It tasted dry now. There was no excitement as the liquid touched her taste buds. There was no yearning for more.

She pushed the drink away, no longer interested. She glanced back at the boy, inhaled deeply before exhaling.

Her feet followed the rectangular pattern of the wooden floor to the counter. She payed for her milkshake and walked over to him.

"Hi," she greeted him, unsure of herself.

His eyes found hers but while hers screamed terror, his were calm and amused. "Hi."

"I don't know why I walked up to you but I did." She blurted out.

An uncontrolled chortle came out of him. He looked back up at her, "I'm glad you did." He smiled.

"Me too." She openly admitted and was stunned to her own honesty.

"I was just about to head out to this club. It's for upcoming rap artist, I don't know if you would be up to it."

"I would." She smiled.

"Great. Let me just pay for this." He gestured down to his plate of fried food.
